Football / Soccer Vienna bronze

This
is one of the rarest Vienna sports bronzes. I'd never
seen another, so when I came upon it at the Hillsborough
Antiques Show
last Sunday, it stopped me in my tracks. And of course,
nothing great is cheap these days, so I really
had to bite the bullet. The gal selling it knew what she
had, and her asking price was enough to choke a couple
of reindeer. I saw a rare tennis Vienna bronze at this
same show in 2003 from a different dealer that was
asking $1,695.00 . That was cheap compared to this. It
was Sunday, the last day of a four day show. The dealer,
Muriel Peterson of Sammamish, Washington said she'd only
had it out of the case three times to show people over
the whole four days of the show. She said she'd
gotten it at the Atlantique City Show from Richard
Wright, the famous doll dealer and expert that is on the
Antiques Road Show. She said Richard had gotten it out
of an estate somewhere, and that he regularly saves
things for her, so it hadn't been seen. Antiques dealers
are very conscious about having fresh things that
haven't been seen. Doesn't mean jack to me though. If
it's something I want, that's all that matters! For
anyone new to this site, probably my biggest hot button
is antique sports sculpture. I've lived and breathed it
18 years, so I know what's important, and what's not. As
a collector, one of the funnest things is finding
something you've never seen. This is a perfect example.
Even though Soccer's not my bag really, it's just a
great piece. Plus I figure I might be able to use it for
a trade some day if I come across someone in Europe that
has the baseball Vienna bronze, that is pictured in the
Vienna
Tennis Bronze Story I
wrote.
